Do you think adults have been immune to that? I think huge proportions of people are influenced by social media, or even worse, the sun.
Academic now anyway.
Whether the young voted in or out isn't the point, it's that the results will effect their lives, for better or worse, and they haven't had a say in it. They may have voted out, we'll never know, but would have meant they had a say in their future.
I'm not saying we should take the vote away from pensioners, that clearly isn't workable even if I thought it was fair. But it could have been given to 16 and 17 year old. They are as capable of understanding the issue as most of the country, and will ultimately be the most effected.
I do find it very unfair that pensioners, that in truth only have a few years left, can swing this vote, well 16 and 17 year old who have the most to gain / loose get no say.
Worcester 55% out. That was meant to be a close one, and having walked around worcester town today I was feeling optimistic about a remain vote after seeing a lot of in stickers in windows. I'm thinking about moving my money to my Nepali account, it may be less volatile
Immigration is definitely a big part of it. The media have spent so long relentlessly portraying foreignersas bad guys that there can be no common sense on the issue.
There also seems to be a lot of people rebelling againstthe establishment. I can't see any sense in that, as both sides are being run by the establishment, and people should be able to see that this is so much more important than letting Cameron know that you think he's a clearing in the woods,
Hope you're right, but I'm pretty much panicking at the moment to be honest.
Almost every where the bbc are going, Leave seem to be performing better than expected.
It's not a finger in the air. If the pound is weak, it buys less with foreign currency. I'm genuinely interested to hear why you think that wouldn't be the case or is not significant.
I want to see the results, but getting fed up of the coverage. Wish they showed funny cat videos in between results instead of banging on immigration and punishment voting.
